For wide openings of the vise, the fixed jaw is moved to the back end of the pad. The lead screw does not need to be long enough to carry the movable jaw clear to the back end of the pad. When it is desired to make a quick adjustment of the opening of the vise, the key is withdrawn, the fixed aw is moved back or forward as the case may be and the key replaced.

0 is the movable vise jaw. It is adapted to fit over the pad A having downwardly extending walls C with flanges C for that pur pose. C is a socket in the center of the jaw. C is the lead screw having a spherical head C to engage the conical bottom C of the hole The end of the screw is G in the hub C slotted as indicated at C and the pin C passing downwardly through the hubengages this slot and holds the lead screw against displacement with respect to thejaw while not interfering at all with its rotary movement. The lead screw is threaded in the boss'A and terminates in a handle C by which it may be manipulated.

D is a clamp. It has at one end a nut D which is threaded to the clamp screw D which screw carries a support engaging head D The other end of the clamp is provided with an enlarged head D this head having two opposed slots D closed at the end furthest removed from the body of the clamp as at D and open at the other end; These slots are adapted to be penetrated by the lugs A to hold the clamp and jaw body in engagement. The dimensions of the parts are such as shown in Figure 4 that when the clamp is in engagement with the lugs A the clamp itself, that is the part which extends horizontally or parallel with the vise body is altogether inside the contour of the vise body and clear of the surface upon which the vise is mounted. This clamp may be engaged with the vise either from the right hand or from the left as shown in Figures 4 and 9.

It will be noted that the pad A terminates far enough away from the lug A to permit disengagement of the sliding jaw from the pad by moving it toward the lug A and pulling out the lead screw and lifting it upwardly in a direction generally perpendicular to the pad'A so that it is not necessary to remove the fixed jaw to separate the moving jaw from the vise body.

I claim:

1. A clamp comprising a clamp body, an integral saddle thereon projecting laterally from both sides of the body adjacent its top, a fixed jaw at one end of the clamp body, bounding one end of the saddle, a threaded lead screw lug projecting upwardly from the opposed end of the body, the sliding jaw carrier adapted to engage the saddle and slide therealong, the movable jaw carried thereby, there being a clearance between the end of the saddle and the lead screw lug greater than the length of the sliding carrier whereby the carrier may be moved 01f the saddle for disengagement.

2. In a vise, a vise body of channel cross section, lugs projecting inwardly in opposition one to the other from the opposed walls of the channel, a clamp adapted to penetrate the channel from either end thereof and interlock with the lugs.

In a vise, a vise body of channel cross section, lugs projecting inwardly in opposition one to the other from the opposed walls of the channel, a clamp adapted to penetrate the channel from either end thereof and interlocked with the lugs, the clamp comprising a head adapted to lie in general parallelism with the vise body, slots on opposed sides of the head adapted to engage the lugs.

4. In a vise, a vise body of channel cross section, lugs projecting inwardly in opposition one to the other from the opposed walls of the channel, a clamp adapted to penetrate the channel from either end thereof and interlocked with the lugs, the clamp comprising a head adapted to lie in general parallelism with the vise body, slots on'opposed sides of the head adapted to engage the lugs, the slots being closed at one end.

5. In a vise, a vise body of channel cross section, lugs projecting inwardly in opposition one to the other from the opposed Walls of the channel, a clamp adapted to penetrate the channel from either end thereof and interlocked with the lugs, the clamp comprising a head adapted to lie in general parallelism with the vise body, slots on opposed sides of the head adapted to engage the lugs, the slots being closed at the end furthest removed from the body of the clamp.

6. In a vise, a vise body, a plate carried thereby and projecting on opposed sides therebeyond, a jaw interlocking with the plate and adapted to slide along the body, a stop projecting upwardly from the body at a point removed from the plate, the jaw being of such Width that when in immediate proximity to the stop it may be disengaged from the plate and removed from the body.

7. In a vise, a vise body, a plate carried thereby and projecting on opposed sides therebeyond, a jaw interlocking with the plate and adapted to slide along the body, a stop projecting upwardly from the body at a point removed from the plate, the jaw being of such width that when in immediate proximity to the stop it may be disengaged from the plate and removed from the body, a. second jaw slidable along the plate and means for independently adjustably locking it in opposition to the first jaw.
